For 13 years I’ve been organizing events for dancers and trying to create a space where kids can grow, get inspired, build confidence and overcome themselves through battles, music and community. Because honestly… breaking gave me so much more than just dance. Battles taught me how to deal with pressure, how to believe in myself, how to stand in front of people without fear and how to keep pushing through limits, not only in dance, but also in life. And Saturday something unexpected happened. One dancer was missing in qualification… and suddenly the whole venue started pushing me to jump into the battle myself. I threw my stuff away and just went for it. The energy, the screaming, the support and the applause I got from everybody in that moment was unreal. For a few seconds I completely forgot I was the organizer and just became a dancer again. And honestly? In that exact moment I realized that even after 21 years… this culture is still one of my biggest passions in life. I felt genuinely happy. Purely happy.
